Ho was an original Se- cossionist, who cannot take the test oath, and was, no doubt, chosen because of his disability, An important statement from The Washington Re- | publican is elsewhere printed to the effect that Napo- leon bas refused to withdraw his troops from Mexico. The' London Daily News and The Chicago Times have substantially affirmed it, though not so positively as The Republican. Our own Washington correspoudent s positively asserts that transports are on their way from Brest to remove the French army, and we accept this statement as the more probable. ON IRELAND. The tone of the British press on the reported dis- turbances in Ireland is simply horrible. Mere ramor of another outbreak, of which England has bad a ar's warning, and to meet which she has made ample preparation, excites an undisguised ferocity. That Tory passion the world well knows, It some. times lurks covert in fine langnage and learned sneers, with its keonel among books, magazines, court journals, and noble saloons, It rushes like blood to the face of England, and like a bloodhound to its front, whenever a people debauched, down-trodden, sud famished by the most complicated system of wrong which the ingenuity of centuries could inflict, must, in very desperation of nature, dare assert their manhood: and whenever a national crime is to be committed, and a pation hunted down to its death, suddenly, cruelly, and remorselessly. Are we unjust? Witness India; witness Jamaica; witness that most piteous story of Ireland, written in martyrdom, and illustrated by famine —a tragedy too wholesale to be acted again, but to be remembered as vividly as any with which the genius of man has moved the world to tears, Recollecting the Irishman's inheritance of wrong, it is the least to expect that Englishmen and English Government ghould studiously incline to be merciful, and to manifest justice. The prayer of Ireland, and of Englishmen in its behalf, has for many a day re. mained unobserved. If, in despite of every oppres- sion, Ireland still exists, and is measurably in sentiment and intelligence with the civilization of the world, it is in pursnance of a law of growth by which no principle is permitted to die and no murderer to stamp out the seed of his victim; by which John Brown and Robert Emmet still live, and are surely marching, with regenerated and regenerative CunesnaTeD Morw Axp FrroxLe Lomiox; It fs iufalible by Dr. 8.

Praise, all who will, the England which pets its scholars, We dare not applacd the mother who devours her children. Counseled, armed, prepared, the nation whose power is feebly represented by millious of men and hundreds of millions of money, is terribly frightened at what it was pleased to regard a mendicant rebel- lion. Such shouts as now pursue the Irish ‘‘rebels” from the colums of the London press sound very like those which must have followed the Jamaica negroes before they were killed by a mob of uniformed butchers, and ominously like the cries with which the titled victims of revolution were hounded to the guillotie, * Captured robbers should be hung,” cries The Standard. ** Leave no loophole of escape,” shricks The Herald, * Stamp them out with an iron heel, cries The Telegraph. ‘' Stamp them out as we stamped out the cattleplague” ghouts The Times, with 8 ferocity for which there can bono pardon.

Whatever bo the pretext, the sentiment of this free country should warn the common sense of England sgainst gdding suother soandal of crime to the political blunders by which hor Government has deluged lands where no eood crop has subsequently grown. India slaughtered by thou- sands, and more lately, starved by millions, bears no good tribute to this horrible and hideous policy. Jamaica, with its bundreds, flogged and killed to appease one man's tyrant aad reckless fear, is & caution which we beg the new apostles of butchery to heed in the name of the crime for which ho woman-whipper, and the stamper-oat, ex-Gov. re, is to be tried, and let us hope, convicted. The stamping-out process as tbus applied to men bas proved the most wretched and costly of failures. It is the device of brute fear and ignorance; aud the pro- gress of bumane knowledge, let us trust, will render it at last unncceessary to deal out that sinister mercy even to the brute. DBut to treat a nation in arms as cattle, is worse than brutal. Fix millions of Irish cattle oppressed as no buman cattle ever were, bave asked for food and justice. Food, pasture and justice being denied, the plague of 1ebellion breaks cut among them. What shall be done? ask Couserva- tives. What should bo dome? ask the Liberals. Stamp them out ! shouts The Times. May a generous people, powerless to-day, but mighty to-morrow, re- member these fierce words when they march to the franchise. The world well knows the pam-£nghsn of **are- lentless policy.” The * stamping-out process " is one of wholesale slaughter, without trial or shrift, 1If the rebellion be small, The Times would have martial law hanging forthwith; if large, not the less should its thousands be hanged. It is not necessary to say that if but a small outbreak, there is no need of harsh measures; if extensive and formidable, it i3 respect- able, and the stamping-out process in its application can only impose upon an oppressed people still bloodier wrong, and provoke the world to an indig- nant and horrified protest. Herein is the whole reason and moral of the stamping-out process, a3 executed with criminal folly in Jamaica. The Tory public, with The Times, is again insanely ready to strain bloodily at the gnat of a threatened rebellion, and swallow the camel of a massacre. North America succeeded in putting down a gigantic rebellion, and doing away with a national crime, without bav- ing sacrificed one man to the stamping-out process, and the future of the Union is all the better for our forbearance. We believe that The Times and allits mates of the British press were, during that Rebellion, the most superserviceable appellants for mercy to our Rebels. Our war was pronounced barbarous, but we stamped mobody out; our treatment of women was ealled shocking, but we flogged none; our conduct of the war was termed cruel, but we suffered the deadly dry-rot among our prisoners at Andersonville without any retaliation in kind. Finally, we have hung nobody for treason, and the press of London, now clamoring for a basin of blood to be extracted out of a drop of Jrish rebellion, applanded our hu- manity to the echo. What the Tories of England asked of us we have now aright to demand, in the name of civilization, for the oppressed people of Ireland. FLOGGING IN CAMBRIDGE. It is a very old question whether scholars shall or shall not e birched for bad behavior. We may sup- pose that there was discussion of it even in the days of Solomon, since that sage thought it necessary to lay down a dictum upon the subject; and now, in the University town of Cambridge, Mas cumstances having revived the topic, it is agitating several learned professors, and apparently somewhat dividing the Re- publican party. Some time ago, a teacher chastised bodily a girl. Much excitement followed. The father of the fustigated child brought, or threatened, actions at law and eriminal complaints against the teacher, with this result, at least, that the public took sides, the School Committee was divided in opinion, and there was & good deal of local excitement. Now, when & new Committoe is to be elected, the matter comes up afresh in the caucus, and is discussed by such men as Prof. Agassiz, Prof. Wastburn of the Law School, and Prof. Wyman. The opinions of such men are worthy of attention. Prof. Agassiz was plainly and unequivoeally against all corporal punishment, whether of boys or of girls. He lad been a teacher some 40 years, and had pever struck a blow. Prof. Washburn, who is an ex- cellent lawyer, was sure that at least girls shonld not be whipped, Dr. Wyman was of the same opi and mentioned the fact that long ago flogging had been abolished in all the Prussian sch After further debate, the caucus resolved that ** corporal punishment should be abolished in each and eve school in the city,” and nominated a ticket for a School Committee favorable to this opinion. If the whole question of school punishment isa diffienlt one, it is because in the light of civilization and of Christianity all questions of punishment are diffienlt. For ages the world admitted, as a matter of course, the propriety of penalties for the sake of exam- ple, and thousands of unhappy wretches, before they went out to be hung for theft or for murder, were told that they were to be hung that others might not kill or steal. The most stolid offender must hfve felt the sheer sophistry of this, and, if he could have logically framed his objection, might have asked: “Why am I to be hung for the sake of improving the moralsof others? 'What are their morals to me?” All punishment, whether in courts of justice or in schools, is open to the same chjection, so far as it is inflicted for the sake of example; for, thus inflicted, it makes the recipient a public benefactor, who is really entitled to a sort of credit for committing erime. Again, intimately and naturally associated with punishment is the idea of revenge. Probably there never was a boy flogged yet who did not believe that his master really took pleasure in flogging him. There is frequently a long lecture hefore the opera- tion, in which the child is told of the mental suffer- ings of the preceptor who is foreed to resort to these measures of severity; but probably no child ever be- lieved in the sincerity of these regrets. As the blows descend, their object must think that they give pleas- ure to him who is inflicting them. Oftenest the feel- ing of the castigator is a mixed one, Ile thinks he is doing his daty, but at the same time he takes a pleas- ure in doing it, and the child, instinctively knowing this, finds it hard to believe thet he is suffering merely for his own good. The moral damage of this impression noed not be poivted out. As the subject is farther examined the difficulties increase. The teacher who1s not allowed to flog resorts to a great variety of ingenious and humiliating expedients. The ears are boxed, or the cranium is thumped with finger and thumb—both estremely reprehensible practices; the bair and cars are pulled; the pupil is denied the vitally necessary relasstion and exercise of the recess; extra tasks are preserided; per- sonal ridioule is shamefully resorted to; whioe to this petty but demoralizing system of punishment, nearly always ioflicted in a passion, there is appended a sys- tem of rewards almost equally demoralizing, which fill little bosoms with the gnawings of envy a:d awak- en unhealthy emotions of early pride. The logging, coarse as it is, is soon over, and may be ajplied to those parts of the body which arc least easily injured; but the minor correctbns to which we have adverted are constant, endbss, and the perpetual source of apprebension and of mental irritation. Mr. Joseph Lancaster, who was byrn with a genius for educating children, and whose ediwcational discoveries must, sooner or later, awaken anew ine terest, never sncceeded in frecing his evstem fom cer- tain foibles; but he demonstrated conclusisely that boys and girls can be managed, instructed, drilled and disciplined without recourss to savage aud re- vengeful methods, His is the only system waich ad- mits of a thorough classification of the pupils of the same school into groups of good and bad, o bright and dull, of the comparatively educated and the ig- norant, His schools were the first which could prop- erly be oalled normal: while he was educating pupils he was also educating a supply of the very best teachers; and almost all other methods, compared with bis or with Dr. Bell’s, seem clumsy and unphilosopbical, The erimes for which flogging may be the proper remedy—such as lying, stealing, obscenity—are pro- cisely those which should insure the expulsion of the offender from the school as promptly as if he had the iteh or the yellow fever. The number of such cul- prits must always bo necessarily small, unless they are permitted to remain and propagato their wicked- ness. A teacher with a natural talent for teaching, if he be allowed this liberty of winnowing under proper restrictions, will soon be strong in the love, gratitude and respect of Lis pupils, The misfortune is that such teachers are rare, and when they are discovered are almost always advanced to higher positions, and set to work, as in the case of Prof. Agassiz, upon young men; but with clearer ideas of school-keeping, we boliove that a supply of such might Le reasou- ably anticipated. _________ JAMAICA. From the Junaica lotter, which appears in another part of our paper, it will be seen that Gordon Ramsay, the notorious Provost Marshal of the lato reign of torror in that island, has escaped human justice, the Grand Jury having ignored tho bill of indictment charging bim with the murder of one George Marshall, a colored man, This will not oceasion surprise when it is remembered that the jury was composed of planters, all residing in the very district in which the disturbances of last October took place, and all im- bued, more or less, with those prejudices of caste whose developments of injustice and oppression pro- duced that tragedy which constitutes the saddest page in the history of one of England's fairest Colonies. The presiding Judge, wo are told, charged the jury most explicitly and emphatically that their duty was to return a true bill; and, indeed, the ovi- dence contained in the depositions presented so strong a prima facie case against Ramsay, that it would have seemed bardly possible for any Grand Jagy to refuse their indorsation to the bill. That evMenco was direet, not circumstantial, the witnesses who appeared | against the accused testifying that they had seen with their own eyes the cowardly murder with which he stood charged. But in spite of the Judge's law and the witnesses' facts, the Grand Jury threw out the bill. It was snfficient that Ramsay was a white man, who bad taken & prominent and active part in the onslaught made upon the blacks when Eyre turned Lis soldiery loose into St. Thomas in the East, to riot in blood, to hunt down the peasantry like wild beasts, and to give tha cottages of the poor people by hundreds to the flames. * A fellow feoling makes us wondrous kind,” To the Jamaica planters, of the class from which this Grand Jury was taken, Gordon Rameay, whose deeds of blood must make his name forever infamons, # hero, worthy of rewards and honor for the servico ho rendered during tho dis- turbances in that island: so perverting is the influ- ence which the spirit of caste and the prejudices engendered of Slavery exercise upon their misguided ts! Can auy wan of right mind . peruse the evidence of which the Judge gave a8 summary in his cbarge, without being convinced that justice imperatively demanded that thy individual charged with having committed so foul a murder should be arraigned for the crime? without feel- ing that justice has been grievously outraged by the re- fusal of that Grand Jury to place Ramsay on his trial? Bat caste broeds cruelty, destroys the moral sense, and teaches men to regard oppression and even murder a3 venial offenses. Lilustrations of this are to be found in other places beside Jamaics, both in the Eastern and Western bemispheres. We shall not be surprised if the samo influences which bave estopped Ramsay's trial succeed in preventing Eyre’s arraigument tor the murder of Gordon. The same letter supplies us with striking evidence of the way in which justice () is admiuistered inJa- m The remarks of the new Governor, Sir John Poter Grant, in reference to the grievous bardships to which poor negro suitors are subjected through the aperation of unequal laws, are worthy of note. The assertion bas been confidently made that the blacks of Jamaica had no good cause of complaint againat their rulers; that the laws did not bear oppressively upon that, io fact, they had reason to bo a contented and bappy people. was what Eyre st in his dispatches to the Colonial Minister, justifying the severe measures ho adopted for the suppression of a local outbreak is what e insisted upon in Lis speech to the Legis- lature, calling upon them to abdicate their functions, in order that ** a strong government” might be estab lished on the island. In these remarks of his suc- cessor's, we have a complete answer to Eyre's false assertions. It would seem that in Jamaica the al- ministration of justice, in so far as the blacks are con- cerned, is a mockery. It is worse than mockery; it is downright cruelty; it ia flagrant, disgraceful in ry them; T tico. 8o much for leaving old slaveholders to themselves to legislate for their former chat. tels; for, although it may be urged that the blacks of Jamaica enjoyed the elective franchise, | Jt turns out that, owing to the conditions attached to the exercige of voting, the franchise was in their case more nominal than real—was, in fact, nothing better than **a delusion and & snare.” But the British Gov- ernment, driven thereto by the recent terrible occur- rences, have taken in their own hands the adwinis- tration of the atfairs of the colony, and it remains to Dbe seen whether the rights so long denied the freed- men will now be secured to thew. Sir John Peter Grant has made a good beginuing, and it is to be hoped he will vigorously follow up the much needed work of reform. —_ DECLINE IN PRICES. A comparigon of the provision market for the three months just passed with its condition during the same period of Jast year, will show a difference decidedly in favor of the downward tendency this year, Beef cattle have declined fully 2} cents per pound net; during the corresponding season last year, thedecline reached only 1 of acent. The market is already overstocked, and under an average arrival of 500 head per weekin exc of the receipts one year ago, the stock cannot bere duced. Pricesare]cent per pound lower than last yoar, and the tendency is still downward, Holders are anx- ious to realize at once, in order to avoid expensive keeping. Sheep have declined about 1 cent per pound, live weight, in three montbe, and are pow 2 cepts below the price of last year. The receipts aro about 1,000 head per week in excess of the arrivals last Fall, and under the influence of beavy stocks, prices must go still lower. ** There never was such a time among hogs!" The reccipts are not extravagantly large, but the demand is extremely limited, Hitherto, at this season of the year, large exports were made; this year cargoes that were sent out early in the Summer are now returned from Europe and thrown back upon the shippors. A decline of 44 cents per pound live weight, has sent the price fully 6 cents below what it was last year, when the receipts were 5,000 less per week than they now are, and an active export demand afforded a ready mar- ket to holders. Prices then, botween the middle of August and the 15th of November, advanced 2 cents per pound. The present high price of corn is forcing heavy supplies of hogs on the market, and it is Dbelieved prices will experience a still furtber decline, and force holders to sell at heavy sacrifices. Pork has tumbled from $33 to $22 per barrel, and is now $10 50 below the prices of same time last year. The market is very unsettled, aud is doomed to still further reductions. Lard is 12 to 14 cents per pound lower than at this time last year. Shipments are returned from England, and large supplies are coming in from the This | West, Prices havo gone down 6 cents durine tho past three months, and must go still lower. Cereals have advanced. Flour, under an aavance of $2 por barrel, is now $1 higher than it was a year ago. The markot, however, is unsteady, and prices are looking downward. Com has gone up 33 cents per bushel in three months, and is now 34 conts higher than it was in No- vember last year. prove to have been false, speculators must yield and pricos fall much below the present quotations. “Tho price of butter bas declined 5 cents during the threo montbs just ended.

The products | gpy ent incumbent, received 41 votes on the last ballot, and of the mines have been unusually large, and there aro no fears that holders will ever again realize the enormous war prices, which for two Winters effectually put out the fires on Learths of the poor. The things we eat aro daily becoming less costly in tho markets. The decline isnot so perceptible at the stalls and shops of rotailers, and to the actual con- sumer ot the hotels and boarding-houses it is wholly unknown. The full supply of provisions in the coun- try, pressing upon the crowded store-houses in the city, must eventually break down all speculation, and force down the prices to consumers, in order to induce more rapid consumption of tho perishable articles of food. Finally, in the conrso of time, the decline will reach the people who buy to eat, and the good old days will return wherein the laborer was able to sit down to a hearty supper, without first balancing accounts between his appetite and bis day’s earnings, 40 a3 not to leave the latter in debt to the for.ner. The Legislature for the coming Winter will contain experienced and able men. Among them are many qualified and ready to aid, by wise laws, the efforts of our best citizens to establish a good Municipal Gov- ernment for New-York. This end can be reached effectually and with littlo strain upon our republican system if our law-makers at Albany can have the co- operation of the head of our City’s financial depart- ment. RicmArp KEuugy has unusual powers of organization as well as of administration. If elected Controller, he will be useful both at his desk here aud in the committes-rooms at the State Capital. BRITISH BAR-IRON IMPORTERS AT WORK ON OUR TARIFF. The excellent Tariff Bill passed by the House last July, but hung up in the Senate by New-York and New-England votes, contained a classification of bar- irons which was inserted for the double purpose of increasing the Revenue and of adjusting dutics to values, Previous tariffs, framed ignorantly or made in the interest of importers, bad ** lumped” costly and cheap irons of different sizes aud qualities in the same groups, and subwitted them to the same duties, with- out discrimination as to value, To end this practical fraud on our revenue, and this manifest wrong to our iron-makers in their competition with foreigners, the Ways and Means Committee classified iron according to its sizes and shapes, and consequently according to its cost of production. The House, without dissent, promptly adopted it, and voted that high-priced iron should no longer be smuggled in under low-priced duties. Quite consistently, our British importers do not relish the prospect of the loss of the advantage which they have for so many years quietly enjoyed. They protest against it; and they are working against it, and working for even greater *‘lumping” privi- leges than they now evjoy. The American bar-iron manufactarers will read with interest the following communication, which their rivals have made to D. 1 A. Wells, who is charged by the Secretary of the Treasury with the labor of getting up a new Tariff to override the bill passed by the House: ! At s meoting of the iron importers, beld in the Cidy of New- | York Nov. 1566, it was recommended that the 'nt am- bigu voxatious classificetion of sizes of iron, for the basis of duties. be corrected, and simplified as follows, v On Bar Iron, rolled and hammered, 1x to 6x2, fi On Bar Iron, rolled and bammered, thicker thai flat ound r Iron, rolled and hammered, 3} in. and upwand, square. lod and bammered, 3-16 to 9-16 in.. square. ad Hoop Iron, bammered, not thiuner than ) bar Iron, rolled and hamimered, j to 3 in., Tron. 02 Band, Scroll 2 W. gauge Seroll and Hoop Iron, bammered, thinner than 12, )vals and Half-Rounds, hammered. > r Iron, not thinner tha: ge. r Iron, thinner than 2, W. ga commendation are that the dis- iron renders their importa this deprives the Goverameat en the custom of manufacturers, both at home and broad, to iuciude all sizes of Bar Iron—say, lats 1 to 6 iaches wide, and rounds and squares. § to 3 inches—under ono priee; we sco o renson why particuiar siaes ahould be mado sub- a different duty A.
